steve_b_wales Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Does anyone own the above? I am having a problem trying to find what reticule to choose. When I go through the menu, and then 'click' on 'Reticule', all I see is a 'Close' message in the top left corner of the screen and cannot continue any further. I have to swich the power off and then back on again. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong (?) Mine is the Mk1 version if that makes a difference. Any advice/help appreciated.

Yes, firmware is up to date. I've received a message via the HIKMICRO Outdoors site which stated that 'close' is actually one of the settings for the reticules (switch off) but I can't see how to select other reticules. The instruction booklet that came with it is pathetic. I've printed off 18 pages of instructions(there's loads more) off the internet that explains things in more detail. I'm going to check it later.
